Lea Michele Explains Why She'd Never Name Her Daughter Rachel Berry

Lea Michele is almost ready for the arrival of her second child and she opened up about baby names during a recent appearance!

The 37-year-old Glee actress cradled her baby bump in a red Michael Kors dress while hosting an event on Tuesday (July 23) in New York City.

Lea worked with Tylenol to discuss how she’s preparing her medicine cabinet for baby #2. She’s currently expecting a baby girl with husband Zandy Reich. The couple already shares three-year-old son Ever.

During a press day, she chatted with Access Hollywood and explained why she’s never going to name her child after Glee character Rachel Berry.

“We’re close. We’re definitely close,” Lea said about choosing a name for her second child. “My husband is so surprised that I’m actually the one holding us up. I’m usually like, ‘We need to figure this out,’ like so far in advance. But, I don’t know. I just think that with our son, we knew the name immediately. It was an easy thing for us. And this time around, it goes with the theme of things being different this time around. But I think we’re getting close. We better hurry up though!”

“Everyone wants Rachel. Is it going to be Fanny? Is it going to be Barbra? I would never do that to my child!” Lea said. “But I do have to cross reference if there is a name, is there any association to anything I’ve done in the past. It will not be Barbra, or Rachel, or Hester. I feel like I’d be more inclined to do ‘Berry,’ because I think that’s kind of cool. Something like that. It would have to be a little… it couldn’t be right on the nose like that.”

Lea took to her Instagram this week and bared her baby bump while revealing the five beauty products she uses while pregnant.
